Greetings All! Oh, how I have missed being here…But I had a very recuperative time away.

Journey of Gratitude BEGINS TODAY!

But first, I want to share my prayer for 2017 with you. Each year, I set up an intention, so that I aim my rudder the direction I want to go.  This prayer is that, for me, for 2017. It is what I invoke each day, for each action, each Journey. This year is about embodying the consciousness of Love and Freedom, and being the transmitter for Love and Freedom, so that ALL may Know Love and Freedom.

I’ve adapted this from a portion of  Patricia Cota-Robles‘ Meditation on the Violet Flame. If you like it, adapt it for yourself. Change the words in such a way so they resonate with you, with the names for God that you prefer, with your own intentions for this year (I have made this version a bit more generic than the one I actually use).

Prayer for 2017

In the name, love, wisdom, power and authority of the beloved, Divine, victorious presence of God-I-Am, I speak directly to the heart of the Divine.

Sacred, Holy Divine ONE, enfold me in the purifying, forgiving, healing substance of your light, energy, and essence, which causes the consciousness and feeling of Divine Love and Freedom to flow through me constantly to bless ALL LIFE.

Let your purifying, Divine essence super-saturate my mind, heart, will, and body to overflowing, so that the air and atmosphere wherever I live, move, breathe, or have my being is filled with Your presence, providing tangible proof of Divine reality to All humanity, and All beings.

Beloved Holy ONE, direct your Divine helpers on earth and in heaven to transmit your purifying, healing energy of Love and Freedom into the hearts of every Soul, so that we will ALL learn to use our Light to the fullest, in the service of Life and the cause of Freedom on earth.

Beloved God, I LOVE YOU. I do now, most earnestly and sincerely call you into dynamic action. Perpetually flood the beings, dimensions, times, and worlds of All sentient beings with your loving, transmuting, essence. Enable each one to Know that your Loving, Healing Presence will always bring comfort, happiness, and release from anything that is not of Your Light. Enfold All sentient beings in the power of Your Light and transmute all imperfections in their lives in Divine Order, through Divine Love.

Beloved, Holy ONE, Your light, Your energy, Your essence, now heals our bodies, harmonizes and stabilizes our feelings, illumines our consciousness and reveals our Freedom, raising us into full mastery over all human appearances, desires, and feelings–now, and forever sustained.

Amen
